Re: '12-'13 UC Basketball

We really need to figure out how to make some shots in the first half.

Not holding my breath. 4 games in a row now they have done absolutely nothing in the first half of a game. You can't play for 20 minutes when the other team plays 40, against good teams that's a recipe to get your head caved in.

Maybe they need to get curb stomped to wake them up a little bit.

The encouraging part for me was UC hitting the shots they should make under the basket in the second half. I really think it was getting into their heads the last few games. Funny how things like that can snowball and get into a team's head. How many times had they missed multiple point blank shots on the same possession? It has been almost comical.

Oh wow comeback is on. We're just down 2 now.

Game is on ESPN U for those who don't care about football halftime shows.

Re: '12-'13 UC Basketball

It seems UC is good for one really bad conference loss a year, let's hope yesterday's game was that loss rather than an omen for what the future holds. The half court offense has never been a strong suit for UC under Mick Cronin but yesterday's effort was particularly atrocious. Hopefully they bounce back against a very solid Notre Dame squad.

Re: '12-'13 UC Basketball

Awfully early to chalk up that one bad Big East loss. It's like filling in your chance box three rounds into Yachtzee

Re: '12-'13 UC Basketball

This team is awful and overrated. That was the hardest game to watch ive ever been to. Including high school girls basketball. The 5 position is nonexistent and they cant make layups or uncontested shots. Cash is the only big east caliber player

Yup.

They aren't awful, but they are one dementional and got exposed. Cronin's inability to recruit talented bigs has come back to bite us in the behind.

I was referring to Cash being the only Big East caliber player, but yeah.

Re: '12-'13 UC Basketball

And another loss.

This team has absolutely no basketball IQ at all. Seriously.
